LONDON, Nov. g. The cabinet
council held OH TIL urs6ay, besides hear
ing Mr.. BalfOur'S report on the state OF
Ireland, and discussing the most i'm
portant of current foreign affairs, de
cided that the coming esSiOn of parlia-
ment should see the introduction of a
land purchase scheme for Ireland.
There had been considerable doubt in
the minds of many of the minister's as
to the expediency of producing such a
bill till Ireland should bee ONE quiet,
especially as the GladstOnians are
counting with extreme confidence on
the overthrow of the government on
this measure. But the counsel of those
most favorable to the immediate action
prevailed and the introduction of
the bill is practically settled. One of
the circumstances having great weight
in inducing the belief that the Liberals
are conte mplating coup, is the fact
that Earl Spencer in a recent speech
stated that lie had postponed his visit to
India because he didn't desire to be far
distant from his leader when his serv-
ices should be required, and this utter
ance is construed to indicate that
THE LIBERALS BELIEVE
that Mr.. Gladstone will soon be restored
to power. The Spectator, as though
seeing the difficulty confronting the
government, and realizing the danger
already imminent and still increasing
that the ministry must inevitably face,
remarks:
The strange power of attraction which for
six centuries has enabled Irshmen to make
all who come among them, W neither conquer
ors or friends, more IRISH than themselves is
again at work. and rapidly disorganizing and
degrading English opinion. 1t would be un-
questionably wiser for the government to in
troduce land purchase bill. If only 1t be
complete, and give it immediate effect, than
to wait for that calmer condition of the pub
lie mind which until the land tenure is evo-
lutioniZed Will in Ireland never come on he
subject of land purchase.
ARNOLD FOSTERS SCHEME.
presented in the current number of the
Nineteenth Century is meeting with
serious attention even from friendly
critics, while many persons consider 1t
q sound and StateSmanlike basis for a
government bill. The Spectator sees in
it only one serious drawback-the posi-
bility that portion of the tenants will
repudiate the payment of quit rent. The
scheme formulated by Mr.. Forster also
exhibits such thorough grasp of the
subject and so acute sense of the needs
of both landlord and tenant that it has
created a general desire that he should
have a seat in parliament at the earliest
moment that q vacancy occurs III a dis
trict from which lie could be elected.
What is certain, however, in regard
to the coming session is this:
1t will be impossible to
carry through both land purchase and
an English government bill, and any
difference of opinion that may arise in
the Tory party will result from discus
sion of the question as to which meas
ureS shall have precedence. 1t is relia-
bly, stated that parliament will re-
about Jan. 20, and the debate
on the address in reply to the speech
from the throne, and the discussion over
new rules of procedure, will fully Oc-
cupy the time till Easter and perhaps
later, so that until these matters are
of no practical legislation will
be possible.

Sir Michael Hicks Beach, though
'ully restored to health, was absent
rom the first of the series of Tory coun-
ills for the purpose of laying out the
ines of the governments parliament
policy. 1t is said that he will not ac-

he reason assigned for his disinclina-
ion to resume office is that his
eat for West Bristol is not
secure to permit him to take

tents for the reelection his position as
cabinet minister would require. Both |
